Google is About To Shut Down Google Code But You Can Host Your Scripts and Files On Google Drive

No one knows about what Google is going to do these days. Recently I got an email from them regarding the shutting down of Google code i.e. code.google.com which is an open source code sharing area which hosts many scripts and coding files on it. However at present they have stopped new projects but have decided to close it around next year. They provide migration of all projects to GitHub but if you want to have your files in Google Drive then you can also do so by a following some little steps.

Here are the steps to be followed :

1. Upload your files to Google Drive

2.Make the files Public on the Web

Select the files and click on right mouse button and navigate to share.

In the 'Sharing settings' window, click on the 'Change' link and choose the 'Public on the web' option. Press 'Save' and copy the link(s) of your uploaded file(s) from the 'Links to share' box highlighted in blue, then paste it into a Notepad to use it later.

3. How to use the scripts in html or in Blogger or in any place

Before you can use the links, you must replace 'https://drive.google.com/file/d' to 'https://googledrive.com/host' and remove '/edit?usp=sharing' in the link.For example, the link to mycssfile.css that I copied looks like this:
